Our understanding of many biological processes requires knowledge about biomolecular structure and weak intra- and intermolecular interactions (e.g. hydrogen bonding). Both molecular structure and weak interactions can ...

Swedish schools are required to educate for sustainable development (ESD). The challenges for the teachers are demanding as the content is controversial and complex. This study focuses on exploring the different ways ...

Heavy particles suspended in turbulent fluid flows, so-called turbulent aerosols, are common in Nature and in technological applications. A prominent example is rain droplets in turbulent clouds. Due to their inertia, ...

Charged particles emit radiation in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields. Emission implies a recoil on the charge, altering its dynamics and is referred to as radiation reaction (RR). Current experiments are on ...

In physics, toy models are often used in popular science contexts. Further, toy models have also been used to communicate some important principles of abstract phenomena qualitatively. One such example can be found in ...

Zooplankton are playing a pivotal role in balancing the life on Earth. By grazing on phytoplankton and then serving as food source to larger aquatic animals, they pave the way of redistributing the Sun’s energy and ...

Visualizations within physics education are critical for learning physics and can be realized in a classroom with experiments, demonstrations, digital tools, mathematical analysis, or other representations, all with ...

The breadth of applications of optical tweezers in life sciences is so large, that it merited Arthur Ashkin a Nobel prize in 2018. Although optical levitation in air was invented first, it has not managed to be so widely ...
